All postings here are my own opinion. YMMV. May shrink in hot water. Do not expose to UV. May contain traces of nuts. With added riboflavin!


 

List of all DNC authorised registrars is available with .nz domain name pricing and other details. Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.

Versign are idiots but DNC is naive?
I just read the article about the flaws in the Verisign use of flash files for their ‘trust seal’. This has reminded me about what I feel are flaws in the use of the DNC Authorised Registrar logo.

The authorised registrar logo is not centrally provided by the DNC. As Domainz and other registrars have proved it can be changed on a whim with no automated manner of reporting of changes or usage. Nothing is stopping me using the authorised registrar logo on this website (other than a swift kick up the ass from Debbie when she sees it :-)

The DNC site is running Apache on Debian. Off the top of my head I can think of several ways to centrally serve this logo to only those websites that have been authorised by the DNC and with little if any impact to the registrars. All of this using out of box features of Apache.
